Modal Dialog Boxes - Infragistics Control

[Kalan]

Hi All,

This issue is related with infragistics control used in OE application. If its irrelavant here, pls ignore and remove this. It would be helpful if you can suggest on this. If topmost property set as expected message window always appears on top of the application. However, if user switch into other application like outlook or MS word still message window appears on top of other applications - That we dont want to appear other applications. If we dont set topmost property as true and defined as false - problem here it allow us to work other docks or window open in the application as we expect to behave as dialog box control i.e. Modal dialog boxes, which require the user to respond before continuing the program. At this moment it behaves as Modeless dialog boxes, which stay on the screen and are available for use at any time but permit other user activities. Could you pls suggest on this to resolve?

V1 = NEW Infragistics.Win.Appearance().
THIS-OBJECT:Topmost = true.

Thanks,
Alan

This also happens with Progress.Windows.Form forms as well. A possible solution may be to use Owner instead of TopMost:

Form.Owner Property (System.Windows.Forms)
Set Owner of a WPF Window to a Form - CodeProject

oForm2.Owner = oForm.
oForm2.Show().
